It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.
They are in charge.

Since January, the Department of Homeland Security has terminated the legal status of over 4,700 people.
DHS does NOT have the authority to terminate this legal status except under very specific circumstances - and we're demanding answers from the Trump Administration.

A few thoughts about today's protests:
1) The April 5 Hands Off day of action clearly ranks as one of the very largest mobilizations in U.S. history, by two different measures:
-- total national turnout (~ 3 million)
-- number of local protests (~ 1400)
